Elcometer 3230-1 Coil Coating Wet Film Wheels

Product Description

The Elcometer 3230-1 Coil Coating Wet Film Wheels is similar to the Elcometer 3230 Wet Film Wheel, but is designed for use in the coil coating process. The outer wheels are knurled to allow measurements to be taken on slippery coatings or on fast moving substrates. By rolling the gauge through a wet coating, the centre wheel eventually touches the film. This point on the scale indicates the thickness. A convenient mounting handle for the wheel is available in two lengths; 15cm & 50cm; please order separately.

When the volume to solids ratio of the coating is known (generally found on the product data sheet supplied by the manufacturer), the wet film thickness can be used to predict the dry film thickness.
